Press release

The International Journal of Person Centered Medicine The International Network for Person Centered Medicine (INPCM) and the University of Buckingham Press are delighted to announce the publication of the first issue of their joint venture journal - The International Journal of Person Centered Medicine (IJPCM). The journal will be available in print and online at www.ijpcm.org. INPCM is the leading educational, research, and advocacy organization in this field and the journal looks set to establish itself as a landmark publication of major importance to the world medical and health organizations. The first issue of this quarterly journal will be published at the end of March 2011 and contains papers from Third Geneva Conference on Person-centered Medicine and the Conceptual Bases of Psychiatry for the Person as well as other articles. The IJPCM is launched when the importance of PCM is gaining ever-greater recognition.Though science, ethics and care are the enduring traditions of the medical profession, it is PCM, in attending to the whole person and the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of health which unifies these strands. Significantly, the WHO is now placing people/person at the centre of healthcare and public health, and has started discussions on adding the dimension of spirituality. The Editorial Board of this important international Journal is drawn from all major medical specialities and health disciplines and is constituted by the world’s most distinguished thinkers in the field. Regional Editors have been appointed for North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania Professor Andrew Miles said: ‘The IJPCM, creating as it does an international forum for the exchange of ideas and the promotion of scholarly debate, is an extremely important contribution to the advancement and operationalisation of humanistic medicine in our times. I am honoured to be invited to be the inaugural Editor-in-Chief at this exciting time of paradigmatic change within medicine. I recommend the journal as essential reading for all clinicians and trainees and to all those academic disciplines with an interest in or responsibility for the promotion of person and people-centered medicine’.

Aims and Scope The International Journal of Person Centered Medicine (IJPCM) is dedicated to the development of the theory and practice of Person-Centered Medicine (PCM). All aspects of PCM and multi-disciplinary person-centered clinical care are therefore of interest to the Journal, particularly: (a) medical epistemology and the nature of knowledge for the individualisation of clinical practice; (b) reductionism and complexity in clinical care; (c) methodologies for the individualisation of clinical practice and for the evaluation and development of person-centred medicine; (d) methodologies for the development, use and evaluation of person-centered history taking, diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up; (e) clinical practice recommendations and guidelines for PCM; (f) narrative-based medicine; (g) values-based medicine; (h) transcultural medicine; (i) psychosocial and psychosexual medicine; (j) social and environmental care in PCM; (k) spiritual and religious care; (l) economic aspects of PCM and policies for the funding of PCM; (m) individualised/personalised (genomic) medicine; (n) sociological aspects of PCM; (o) the medical humanities and PCM; (p) ethical and medico-legal implications of PCM; (q) the role of the family and of friends in caring and decision making; (r) the development and use of information technology and medical informatics for the development, application and evaluation/audit of PCM; (s) person-centred design and operation of healthcare facilities; (t) health service policies and policy-making for PCM; (u) the national and international health politics of PCM, (v) the role of medical education and PCM & (w) people-centred care (population approaches to clinical care). The Journal welcomes learned submissions from doctors, nurses, the allied professions and all those clinical and non-clinical colleagues with an interest in, or responsibility for, the development and application of person-centred approaches to clinical care and public health
